BARRY ZIMMERMAN

To the family, I am sorry for your loss. I was his student in the "olden days". He was excellent, and the information that I learned in his course informed my research for years after and has translated into impact regarding children, families, and schools. I admired his kindness, quiet demeanor, and humility. Be encouraged.

Dr. Barry Zimmerman was a brilliant professor. But, I knew him as a very caring individual not only of his wife Diana and his children and grandchildren but also of others. He always took the time to listen and offer his help whenever he could. He was a unique human being and will always be missed.

After years of doing counseling and working as a school psychologist and private psychologist, I still quote or reflect the wisdom of Barry Zimmerman in nearly all my sessions...his theories, his style, his approach and his calmness are with me every session. I value what he taught me, and his legacy lives on in all the people I´ve worked with at the school and everywhere else. It´s very funny because without even knowing it, my daughter`s name is Shana.

I had the very good fortune of knowing Barry over the past few decades. I began reading his work in the late 1970's and have followed it ever since.

Dear Diana, I know about you and your dear husband from mary and Karla. We live on Valle Di Cadore but have never met which makes me sad. I have briefly met Barry on one of his walks while we were here. We live part time here and in omaha Nebraska. John and I send our heartfelt condolences......I hope our paths cross in the future. John and I will keep u and your family in our prayers. Jackie and John gerard

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was a colleague of Barry's at the CUNY/Graduate Center, where I was a junior faculty member. While our perspectives differed substantially, Barry was wonderfully kind and supportive to me, which I much appreciated. I'd lost contact with Barry after I moved to UCLA during those long ago years.

Diana, I'm so sorry to read about Barry. Though we haven't seen much of each other in recent years I have many good memories. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family.
